The President and tho Pensions:

l. President, Cleveland, in letter to Grant
Post No. Is; Of Wilmington, Del, which
had Endorsed the veto Of the independent
pension bill. thanks the post for its action
and says:
1t sometimes happens that official con-
duct clearly demanded by an imperative
obligation OF public duty is made difficult
by counter influence and inclinations which
grow out OF sympathy or by disposition
to follow with ease and comfort the appar-
cnt current OF popular opinion
Those OF our citizens not holding or
flee and thus entirely free from the solemn
obligation OF protecting the interests OF tho
people often fail to realize that their pub.
lie servants are, to q large extent. debarred
in official action from the indulgence OF
these charitable impulses which in private
life are not only harmless, but commenda-
BILE. While the depredations should he re-
garded one OF the stern incidents OF faith
full performance of an official duty, and
while it should be endured with the resig-
nation arising from an unfaltering faith in
the ultimate justice OF the American peo-
pie, it is, nevertheless. gratifying to receive
such expressions as are contained in the
resolutions now before me.

O'Brien, Nelson's companion, who had been
amazed and dazed, now grasped the
reins and dashed the horses Through the

Here there was a hostile crowd who again
hooted as the party within tried to open
the door but could not. Mr.. McMahone
jumped over the door and drawing q re.

O'Brien and his friends were making their

MILITARY DRILLING.
First Day Of tho Military Drill at WASHINGTON

tlrst Usy Ol tho Military Drill at WASHINGTON.
Washington Special goth. The COMPETE
tive drill of infantry began q few minutes
past 10 o'clock this morning. The com.
peting companies were limited in numbers
to "a men each with their three officers
and two guides. The programme of
manenvera was to be deliver
der one hour before, the time
allotted Tor the corps appearance and the
men were thereby to be kept in ignorance
OF the maneuvers they wero to execute un.
til the orders were actually given They
were to exercise first in the schools of the
soldier (that is without arms) then in the
manual alarms and lastly in the school of
the company. Thirty minutes were allotted
to each company to complete its pro.
gramme.
Company A. of Minneapolis was the
first appearance on any stage, so to speak,
but Capt. Amory and his men were perfect.

arate company. of New York (Seeley Citi-
sens' Corps OF Rochester), was the next to
appear.
The third Of the competing co mpanies-
the Muscatine Qowa) Rifles, Capt. G. F.
GarlOck-was marched at once to a CEN
trail position: The soldierly appearance
OF the men, their SNOWY but tasteful uni
forms, and tho remarkable accuracy OF
their performance throughout, won the m
round after round'of applause.
Company A, First battalion of Virginia
troops (colored), and the State Guerd of
Virginia (colored) appeared in turn and
showed in their performances the results
OF careful drilling. The Vicksburg South
rons were escorted to tho grounds by their
band and were greeted in advance
by the welcoming cheers of
their friends on the stand. Their
marching and general appearance was very
fine. Company A OF the FIRST Virginia regi-
ment was the last ofinfantry competitors.
The interest in the days proceedings cul-
minated in the performance of tho Keck
Zouaves of Johnston, N. Y. Their Skin
mish and bayOnet drill were lnarvels of
precision.
TIL number Of soldiers in camp has been
variously estimated. Adjt. Gen. Carne-
then on being asked how many troops
were now encamped said:
estimate there are about forty men to
each company, and We have about seventy
companies. This would give $500.
About one-third OF them are from Vireiuia.
The boys are in good trim for the drill.
and there is every reason to believe that
1t will be an unqualified success.

Suprnme Court Decides tho bss Monies River
Case:


Case:
The settlers upon the Des Moines river
lands, above the Raccooh Forks, Received
IN the supreme court another setback to
their cause that leaves them practically
Without hope. Two weeks ago the case ii
Edward F: lizard against the Des Moines
d Fort Dodge Railroad company and
Others, in error to the supreme court 81
Iowa, was argued. and on Monday Justice
Miller handed down decision affirming
the judgment of the court below, and
affirming also the title Of the railroad
company to the lands. The court goes
over the history OF the case. After
saying that tho action of congress could
not affect the Withdrawals, the court con.
cludes:
The title OF the plaintiff therefore rests
upon the settlement upon odd sections of
land within five miles Of the Des Muines
river, which were reserved from sale or
presumption at the time the settlements
were made Two OF the settlements, which
are the foundation OF the plaintiffs bill,
before the passage OF the act OF July in the
same year, and one of the settlements un-
der which the plaintiff claims was made
after the passage of this act. The title
was transferred by that act to the state OF
Iowa Tor the original purpose of the grant
OF 1916. The object of this bill is to have
a declaration OF the court that the title of
the plaintiff under those settlements and
presumption is superior to the title conferr-
ed by congress on the state of
act OF July IL, 1867: If the land was at
the time OF these settlements and pre-
emption declarations effectually withdrawn
from settlement, sale or presumption by
the orders of the department which we
have considered, there is an end to the
plaintiffs title, for by that withdrawal
the lands were reserved for another pur.
pose. to which they were ultimately ap-
piled by the act of1S62, and no title could
be established or initiated because the
land department had no right to grant.
This proposition will be found supported
by former decisions OF this court which are
decisions OF the whole controversy. The
judgment OF the supreme court OF Iowa
founded on tho same view of the subject
as set fourth is therefore affirmed.
